We are excited to offer today’s podcast as a gift to men and the women who love them. Steve Smith and Joe Chambers sit down and share their true confessions of being fathers. They share the good, the bad and the beautiful, as well as the brutal, in their journey to being fathers. They explore the “waking up” of their own souls, as well as the souls of their children and wives. It’s an honest conversation that will invite you to the courageous parts of your own story and inspire you to live out your fathering from the heart.
Episode 10 - Exploring Dignity of the Soul
In this episode, Steve speaks with Mel Lawrenz, former lead pastor of Elmwood Church and the author of the book “Time of Dignity.” Together they delve into the question “How do you define Dignity?” In the process they discuss inherent worth and the assaults that are eroding our basic sense of dignity and worth: illness, aging, bureaucracy, technology, and busyness. It’s a discussion that will challenge you to think about the universal truth of the Genesis account, how that truth is violated all the time in our culture, and the ultimate truth that all people matter.
